@blatham,
I know I've said this before, but I have to say it again so I won't be mindlessly categorized by people who should know better (i.e., "Oh, my, if you don't like Donald Trump, you must be a liberal Democrat!") I happen to be pro-life, and I have conservative views regarding the family unit. But I'm not a Republican either, and I will never become one because of the presence of evil characters such as Robert Mercer -- who was born too late in the wrong country. In my humble opinion, he would have been quite content to live in Nazi Germany. Indeed, the Republican Party should be renamed the "White People's Party." It's full of white racists and other negative characters. The Koch brothers, by the way, are sons of one of the founders of the John Birch Society. They make someone like Bob Dole, whom I have admired, look like a liberal. I'm afraid they're going to dominate this country for decades because the Democrats lost touch with reality on a number of issues a long time ago. (Hey, if we're lucky, this country might end up with a Klansman or two sitting on the Supreme Court -- courtesy of Trumpism and all the conservatives who have prostituted themselves in order to save their political skin. For example, Senator Cruz comes readily to mind. He seems to have lost his manhood since the Republican convention.) It doesn't do any good to oppose a political leader unless someone is fit to take his place. I would have to violate my conscience to support either party.
Thanks, blatham, for the link although it's a hard read -- "hard" in the sense of being utterly repellent and alarming. In the 1960s and '70s, I thought American white racism was being relegated to the dustbin of history. I was wrong, completely wrong. We're even experiencing a revival of antisemitism! Next to no one learns from history. I give up.
